What is the main difference between prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells?

• Prokaryotic cells have a nucleus and Eukaryotic cells do not
• Prokaryotic cells are unicellular and Eukaryotic cells are multicellular.
• Prokaryotic cells do not have a nucleus, Eukaryotic cells do have a nucleus.
• Prokaryotic cells are plant cells and Eukaryotic cells are animal cells.

The main function of chloroplasts is:

• To control what enters and leaves the cell.
• To break down food to release energy for the cell.
• To control all activities of the cell.
• To produce food for the cell using the sun's energy.

The cytoplasm

• Is  the gel-like fluid that holds other organelles in place.
• Breaks down food to produce energy for the cell.
• Is known as the "brain" of the cell.
• Is where photosynthesis takes place.

Identify which of these is NOT a major difference between plant and animal cells.

• Only plant cells have a cell wall.
• Only animal cells have mitochondria.
• Animal cells do NOT contain chloroplasts.
• Plant cells have a large central vacuole.

The mitochondria

• Controls what enters and leaves the cell
• Performs photosynthesis to make food for the cell.
• Contains the chromosomes and is known as the "brain" of the cell.
• Breaks down food to produce energy for the cell.

Ribosomes are the cell organelle that

• Break down food to produce energy for the cell.
• Produce proteins for the cell.
• Break down broken cell parts.
• Make food for the cell using the sun's energy.

Producers

• Make their own food using the energy from the sun.

• Have to eat other organisms.

• Are the same as consumers.

• Do not have a nucleus.

The cell wall

• Controls what enters and leaves the cell.
• Provides structure and support for the plant cell.
• Is a flexible out layer of the cell.
• Is the transportation system of the cell.

What is the function of the cell membrane?

• To protect and support the cell
• To perform different functions in each cell
• To control what enters and leaves the cell
• To form a hard outer covering for the cell
